"Roger and his partner John are a tremendous team! Roger is the painting expert, while John is the carpenter, though they each have varied skills to assist each other. Their skill level was impressive, and Roger's pricing was very fair and affordable. They were on-time every day, and were friendly and courteous._____ I purchased an 8 ft. Harvey vinyl patio door years ago, but it sat in the garage for years. Sight unseen, they unpackaged the door pieces and installed the patio door as if it were second nature to them. The door was shorter and narrower than the old one they removed, but John filled the gaps and finished the trim to make it look like it was a perfect fit!_____ Roger's skill at fixing many seam cracks in the walls & ceiling of our family room was amazing. John was also tasked with installing sills and molding for two windows, which looked perfect after he was finished! Then Roger went to work painting all the trim, some previously stained, and the walls. He primed all the trim before painting them with two coats. He also applied two coats to the walls, blending all rolled sections so no lines were visible. From all angles the walls look excellent!_____ When the work was done they cleaned up after themselves, removed all waste and brought it to the curb for a trash pick-up. Later, a dear friend of ours came over to see the renovated room and was very impressed, saying that she might be calling Roger for some work at her own house. That's saying a lot because she's a stickler for details._____ I can honestly recommend Rogers Top Notch Painting very highly for friendliness, punctuality, quality, affordability and attention to detail. They will definitely be hired to do more work for us in the future!"

"In painting the condo all areas were completed to my satisfaction, however there were gaps in communication between Robert and myself. The paint crew seemed rushed which resulted in some areas not being properly masked off and paint spray remained. I found after their cleanup, plastic and tape remained on some surfaces and fixtures. In dealing with this contractor I would suggest getting each room documented regarding the type of work, type of paint, and cleanup. I received the level of service I paid for."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.
